Chiefs Eye Slayton for Receiver Depth | Kansas City News

The Giants shock fans by releasing Darius Slayton—longest-tenured player—days before kickoff, sparking Chiefs rumors. With a thin receiver corps relying on Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton, KC could use veteran depth. Slayton’s 2023 stats were solid: 37 catches, 538 yards, 1 TD, with improved efficiency and versatility. But age, camp speed concerns, and persistent drop issues (double-digit rate in 5 of last 6 seasons) raise red flags. Chiefs’ cap crunch complicates things, but adding Slayton at a reasonable cost might stabilize the WR room—even if it doesn’t solve everything.
